Placing our Film Poster in Different Locations

Once we had finished editing our poster, we placed our poster on to different locations where a film poster may stereo typically be placed. This will allow our poster to be advertised to all members of public, of all genders and ages. However we decided to place it on a bus stop shelter because this is where a lot of teenagers are found, as they are use public transport because they haven't learnt to drive yet. Moreover teenagers is our target audience so this could capture their attention. 

This is our poster that has been edited on to a poster board at a train station, this is a a conventional place for film posters to be advertised as there is always members of the public waiting for trains and when people don't have anything to do, the poster will attract their attention which means they would have knowledge that the film is being shown in cinemas soon. 

Lastly I have edited our film poster on to a billboard that is located on the side of the road. This allows drivers who are driving past to view the poster and make them aware of the film.It would be placed on one of the busiest roads as this would allow a larger audience to view the poster, furthermore on busier roads means that there could be more traffic jams, so if there is one then the people stuck in the traffic jam would almost be faced to look at it. 

Editing the Film Poster

Analysis of Pandora's Box Film Poster

Feedback on Pandora's Box Film Poster

We presented our findings to a group of teenage people ranged from 17 to 19. The people in this sample group were all female as we wish to aim our product at this demographic. Below is the notes we took when people were analysis our work for what they liked about it and what they felt needed improvement. 

People really liked the image we chose for our poster. We were told that it made the genre of the film apparent and therefore there would be no confusion over the genre of the film. The image was also apparently very eye catching and would catch the attention of the audience against other images. The next thing people really liked was our use of image editing and the light coming out of the box which gave a mystical appearance which added to the idea of genre. The font was also pointed out as suiting the genre.

We received some pointers on how to improve our product. These included maybe changing some of the colours of the text to add more variation and make the text less boring and more eye catching. We were also advised to add actor names or logo's for the production companies to make the poster look more realistic and also to add more information to make it more interesting. 

Finished Film Poster

After showing our poster to a couple groups of target audience members, we received feedback that allowed us to improve the appearance of our film poster. Since these changes have now been made, here is our final finished poster.

Poster - Institutional Information

Based on what I have done while researching posters, it has been made clear that on the bottom part of my poster I need to have written some institutional information in a small font which tells the audience information about who is in the film and some of the people involved in the different stages of production, such as director, editor, costume designer and of course actors and actresses.

Here is the institutional information I was able to create using the editing software 'Serif Draw'. It contains all the names and jobs of the people involved in all stages of production. In the centre is also the date of release which is a larger font which makes it stand out and the website for the movie. This is a typical lay out which is a convention of most movie posters. I will placed this on the bottom of the poster which is typically where it is placed.

First Poster First Edit

This is our first attempt at making our film poster, I really think that the colour scheme go well together and all of the aspects are clearly shown. Once we get feedback on our poster we will change anything that isn't quite correct.
